Stokes concludes that Wright's leadership "will serve only to lead students from the school to the confines of imprisonment."

Wright could not be reached immediately for comment.

Stokes also takes aim at Wright's $300,000 annual salary in the resolution, noting she is the highest-paid superintendent in the nation; however, he writes "she has not provided comparable leadership for the Jackson Public School District in assisting the percentage of students failing to experience an upward movement over the last few years."

A state law, phased out at the time of Wright's appointment, mandated that the state education chief's salary be 90 percent of what the state's commissioner of higher education makes. Higher Education Commissioner Glenn Boyce makes $358,312.50, meaning Wright's salary would have to be $322,481.25 to align with the former statute.

Stokes then brings race into the equation.

"Whereas, the Jackson Public School District is composed of a majority of African-American population which makes the majority of those students failing of the same ethnic group; we deserve a state superintendent who fosters excellence for all students and in all academic programs, despite history, culture, race, ethnicity and gender," Stokes said.
